Deserted

His Young Wife And Left Bradford Behind

Guy Weybright, Well Known School Teacher, Is Missing There

Bradford citizens are a good deal exercised over the somewhat mysterious disappearance of Pro Guy Weybright, a school teacher of that place.

It is said that he was last seen on Thursday evening of last week and that he took his departure without apprising anyone on his intension to do so. No word having been received from him, it is presumed that he has deserted his wife, a highly respected young woman. A brother of the missing man came to the village Monday and it is said claimed that he had purchased Weybright's horse and buggy, but L T DuBois, the father of Mrs. Weybright, refused to let him have them. From this incident it is believed that the brothers have planned flight together or that the claimant of the outfit is aiding his brother to escape without being traced. No reason for the young man's leave-taking has been divulged, though of course the ordinary rumors are afloat in the village.

Weybright is quite well known throughout the county from his connection with local politics. He moved among the best people of Bradford and was well thought of.
